Lindt has partially U-turned on its decision to hike prices after Easter chocolate sales dropped. In response, it said it has adjusted prices and boosted marketing in certain regions for the second half of the year. Around Easter, Lindt is known for its chocolate rabbits wrapped in gold-coloured foil and decorated with a red ribbon and bell on their necks. By volume, meaning the amount of chocolate sold rather than the money it made, overall sales sank 7.5%. Meanwhile, sales of Lindt chocolate in airports decreased "due to ongoing conflicts in the Middle East, and therefore declining passenger traffic".
